'Lighthouse' by Jason Railton, on display in the LEGO store Bluewater from December 2012.

"Installing my lighthouse model 'Permanence' in the display window of the LEGO Brand Store in the Bluewater Centre.
'Permanence' is a model based on a few lighthouses off the Brittany coast such as the Phare du Four and the Phare La Jument, made famous by the photographs of Jean Guichard which show them standing up to terrific stormy seas.
This model uses a mixture of white and transparent blue bricks to show a huge wave crashing around the lighthouse, and has the square baseplate set to a diagonal to emphasise the water rushing in from all sides.
The title comes from a line by Stephen Donaldson where 'Stone and Sea' are described as 'Permanence at rest, and permanence in motion'."
The card says, "A huge wave breaks of a lighthouse off the coast of Brittany as the keeper looks out at the storm. (He's fine!) This model was built over three weeks from around 5,500 pieces."

Brickish members contribute to The LEGO ideas book

"Perhaps the best thing about the book is that most of the models have been created by AFOLs, the majority of whom are Brickish Association members: Barney Main, Tim Goddard, Duncan Titmarsh, Andrew Walker from the BA, and Debrah Higdon and Sebastiaan Arts. They have done a fantastic job, and it's interesting to see that they've sometimes used building techniques that LEGO set designers probably wouldn't."

"We really are being spoilt for LEGO books this year. We've already had several excellent Dorling Kindersley books and now two more have been published. This one, however, is slightly different to the others in that it's been created with the help of AFOLs rather than the LEGO group, although of course it is licensed from them. (I'll be reviewing the other new DK book, the Star Wars Character Encylopedia, in due course.)
As its title suggests, this is an ideas book that provides inspiration for your own models. It's A4-ish in size and about 200 pages long. Its presentation is as stunning as we've come to expect from DK: superb photos on clean white backgrounds surrounded with snippets of text. It makes a superb coffee-table book.
It's divided into six chapters which set the theme for the models within: Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Town and Country, Out of this world, In Days of Old, A World of Adventure and Make and Keep. Most pages features a main model and variations of it. The book doesn't contain instructions for any models, but usually shows enough pictures of them to be able to reverse-engineer them should you want to. However, that's not the idea really, the models are intended for inspiration for your own creations.
I had to chuckle at the statement in the introduction about this "We don't show building steps or lists because it's unlikely you will have all the bricks for each model...' Actually, I think it highly likely that I do, and I suspect many of you do too!
Perhaps the best thing about the book is that most of the models have been created by AFOLs, the majority of whom are Brickish Association members: Barney Main, Tim Goddard, Duncan Titmarsh, Andrew Walker from the BA, and Debrah Higdon and Sebastiaan Arts. They have done a fantastic job, and it's interesting to see that they've sometimes used building techniques that LEGO set designers probably wouldn't, although I'm told all models had to be approved by LEGO.
Should you buy this book? If you build with LEGO bricks then yes, this is for you. If you're someone who just buys sets and keeps them MISB, then it probably won't be of interest. But nobody here does that, do they? :-)
It's available from Amazon for about half the publisher's price so there really isn't a reason not to add it to your bookcase."

'TED' talk on being an adult fan of LEGO

01 Jul 2010

An AFOL talking about being an Adult Fan of LEGO - sorry he is not a Brickish member

Some of you may be familiar with the TED talks that cover a very diverse range of subjects each in 6 minutes. This one is by Hillel Cooperman about being an AFOL. A quite a good promo for adult fandom I thought. It shows how buying a set for the children can change your life!

Father's day shopping extravaganza

21 Jun 2010

AFOLS hit the LEGO shops to buy their own Father's day presents.

Brickish members descended on the LEGO shops at Milton Keynes, Bluewater &
Brighton to buy their own Father's day presents. They received a special discount and
didn't have to prove they were fathers. Hopefully there will be several more similar
events before Mother's day. All we need now if for LEGO to open a shop in the
northern half of the UK. Thanks to Julie for organising it.
